The benefits of using Yoga!

Yin yoga:

Yin yoga is a form of yoga poses that are part of the Chinese martial arts. It was influenced by those practices from an early stage, as well as Buddhist meditation and directly observed reality via Taoism, among other things. This way, Yin Yoga aims to influence both body and mind.

Yoga Nidra:

Yoga Nidra is a state of consciousness between waking and sleeping, like the "going-to-sleep" stage induced by a guided meditation. It has now spread throughout the world and is being used by the US Army to assist soldiers and help them to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Kundalini Yoga:

Kundalini Yoga is defined in Vedantic culture as energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated and channeled upward by the process of spiritual perfection. Kundalini is believed to be power associated with the divine feminine.

Yoga Flow sequence encourages the body to release via yang means. Like yin poses, yang poses encourage the body to surrender and sink into itself—so you get yin-style acceptance of thought and energy patterns while also empowering yourself to change them. This practice will help you get in touch with your inner self.

Yoga to increase your health:

Yoga can help in many ways to improve people's health, both physically and mentally.

For example, after 12 weeks of yoga practice, the participants had lower triglyceride levels (fatty acids in the blood).

Happiness & productivity:

When you practice yoga, you can also improve your happiness and your productivity through exercise even if you have limited physical ability, Yoga can have a great effect when done properly.

Stress relief: Stress wreaks havoc on the human body, it can cause illness, high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. Yoga has been proven to help relieve stress by releasing serotonin into the body which helps people relax.

Yoga can help people focus on the present. It is a common problem that many people keep thinking about what has happened in the past or worrying about the future. This leads to a lack of concentration and decreased productivity.

Regularly practicing yoga contributes to becoming more aware of yourself, improving your health, and making you feel better about yourself.

Stronger immune system:

It has been found that yoga helps improve your immune system thanks to the release of 'feel-good hormones called endorphins. Endorphins help relieve pain and stress, promoting health. The stronger your immune system is, the better you will be able to fight off any health problems or illnesses.

Just as the release of endorphins creates a sense of wellbeing throughout the body, so too does regular yoga create a positive change in how you feel about yourself, increasing your overall health and wellbeing.

Daily stresses such as work, family issues, or health concerns can contribute to health problems if not managed properly; however, yoga is effective at helping people deal with these common health concerns by reducing stress levels. Practicing yoga allows you to become more aware of your health and enables you to take the necessary steps to improve it.

If you suffer from health problems such as stress, depression, sleep issues or weight gain, yoga is effective at helping improve these health concerns naturally instead of using medication.
